He is fcked up and rude I have never seen this kind of idiot doctor in my entire. He relized me from hospital with 150/100 high blood pressure plus having eyes pain and extrem headache .
I have just asked him only pill to lower my blood pressure which he had rejected. I wonder why they keep this kind of doctors in alberta hospitals

Had to go in to emergency on a Sunday night. Thought I was dying, possible appendicitis. Agree that the admissions procedure and general ambience there is not comforting or inviting. This is likely a government funding problem more than a staff problem, but all we get to see are the staff who live under these constraints. It seems rushed or overwhelmed, and I agree that it appears most of the staff need a holiday, a job change or time off. They seem irritated and bothered. I waited about 20 to maybe 30 mins. to be ushered into a hallway bed. About 20 minutes after that, Dr. Neilson saw me. I do understand the comments here that others have made; yes, I think his bedside manner and demeanor could be improved. However, he instantly and correctly diagnosed my pain as an inguinal hernia; this was missed by two other doctors, my primary care physician 3 months before and a Medicentre physician 2 days before. ( Admittedly, easier to diagnose when it's coming through, but, still - no one else even considered a hernia as a possibility ). He pushed it back into place - that hurt! - but he told me to try to stifle myself and it would instantly stop hurting. And he was correct! 5 to 10 seconds of pain and then....NOTHING. Pain stopped immediately. Advised me I would need a booked surgical repair, as this was not serious enough to warrant emergency surgery - taught me how to push the hernia back in myself correctly - and even got me a referral to a surgeon that came in the mail in a few days. He`s no nonsense and doesn`t say much - and I guess that`s why he gets weak reviews - but in my case, he was 100% ok with me. I get where he is coming from and he got me fixed up and pain free immediately with a correct diagnosis. Honestly, can`t ask for much better than that.

Visited ER at the Misericordia yesterday. Dr.mdidnt even introduce himself and seemed uninterested. When he came to give me my results of testing, he seemed to change and even sat down to chat. All in all, ok.
